| I was thinking about this for my one kindie class, anyway, though I wouldn't mind also trying it at hogwan. Anyone else thought about it or given it a try? I mean, we all know what child hygene is like over here, regardless of how vigorously Koreans brush their teeth or scrub in the showers. It's the only country I've seen that has toilet rolls absolutely everywhere but in the toilet. Maybe a good trend to start? |

You don't have a hair on your butt if you don't do it.  |

| No, but i'd find it slightly arousing if my girlfriend wore them around the house. Would sort of remind me of that movie, Animal House. |

If you're a freak, sure why not. If you think that's a good idea it can't be anything more freaky than what you already do!  |

Sure, I wouldn't handle a petri dish filled with puke and blood and cum and snot and crap without gloves. Apart from the cum, K kids are just a walking version of that.
Gloves would be a sensible idea, unfortunately probably a frowned upon one. |

| keep them on hand maybe to clean up whatever, but unless you're driving, gloves are unacceptable work attire. |

If you are afraid of germs, washing your hands after every class and not touching your eyes, nose or mouth while in class (why would you want to anyways?!), will adequately protect you from contracting their illnesses. Well, that and teaching them to cover their mouths when they sneeze/cough (this goes for teaching assistants as well!).
If you really want to cover your butt, incorporate going to the bathroom and washing everyone's hands into your class. This way they won't interrupt your class with requests to go to the bathroom, they will be clean, and they learn some practical English like "wash your hands", "use the soap", "turn on the water", etc. |

Because the song goes like this:
Head and shoulders knees and toes, knees and toes
Head and shoulders knees and toes, knees and toes
EYES, and ears and MOUTH, and NOSE
Head and shoulders knees and toes, knees and toes
It's not a very good song without actions, you know. |

There is no soap. There are no towels. The water is unheated. The bathrooms are cleaned on alternate thursdays. First world bathrooms have to exist before you can have first world sanitation. |
